#Pembeelittens It's time for #JaneAndTheExcellentReadalong discussion of Jane and the Canterbury Tale! This Jane Austen Mysteries Book Club is read at your own pace and FULL OF SPOILERS. We're counting down to the Release of Jane and the Final Mystery. If you haven't read the book, pop in anytime. Or tag me in your post to make sure I see your answers.

Mine are in the comments.

Crinoline_Laphroaig 1️⃣ Card game showing just how awful Curzon Fiske was and the reveal/confrontation with Murderer.
2️⃣ I really loved the relationship between Edward and Jane in this one. It's grown since we were last at Godmersham in Jane and the Genius of the Place.
3️⃣ Loved all the references to Pride and Prejudice.

Crinoline_Laphroaig And: "It was a wonder all three did not collide upon the path over the Downs in the dead of night, coming or going."

"Can‘t go shooting one‘s guests whenever they put a foot wrong, what? Very bad ton."

“Must you always complicate matters, Jane, with questions that are entirely unanswerable?”

⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 4️⃣ Mr Moore would probably bore me so much I'd struggle to stay awake. Which would be considered rude (heaven forfend)so I'd say Mrs Thane. No way you'd fall asleep with her screeching.⬇️ 1y

Crinoline_Laphroaig 5️⃣ Walk the Pilgrims Way. With 2 weeks that's 14km/8.5 miles a day. I think I could do that. But no camping! Would book a comfy room for each night. And stop in Chawton to visit Jane Austens House, The Big House and finish at Cassandra's Cup for tea.

1y
Crinoline_Laphroaig 6️⃣ I googled the difference between tilbury and perch phaeton.

And while I knew what a young lady being out meant didn't know A gentleman being out "is one who has met a rival at twenty paces on a duelling ground,"
1y
Crinoline_Laphroaig 7️⃣ While looking for background info at Stephanie Barron and Austenprose blogs I found out this was almost the last Jane Austen Mystery! Original publisher did want to continue but happily 3 years later the 12th Jane Austen Mystery was published
1y
Crinoline_Laphroaig Speaking of #JaneandtheTwelveDaysofChristmas it's a favorite of mine. I usually read over the 12 days of Christmas. I'm planning something a bit different for July. Will post that next week.

kspenmoll apologies that my responses were posted six days ago as- next time I‘ll wait for the 30th, but if you want to see my responses look back there. Sorry thanks! I can repost as well if need be 1y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @kspenmoll no worries! This is a very laid-back book club! 1y

1. Jane viewing the dead pilgrim (27-8)
When she called out Mr. Moore for his hypocrisy (153)
2. Enjoyed Juniper Finch-Hatten
3.”You‘re dashed needle-witted…(Finch-Hatten) Needled-witted. It was a phrase that might have come from my old friend Lord Harold‘s lips—had be been twenty years younger.” (245) I miss the Rogue!
4. Solitary ramble
5. Cold sea bathing- but with a wet suit? Ha they did not have them then
6.tunnels
7. Learned🔽

kspenmoll 7. “My own dear Fanny”(7) the depth of love she has for her niece, & reading about their relationship. 8. Edward too intense, too stuck in his grief affecting his family. Word phrases: roll of soft(67); insufferably prosy(75); comfortable coze(59);needle-witted(245) (edited) 1y
Crinoline_Laphroaig Needle Witted. Such a great phrase! I just finished reading. It's my Birthday on Monday. Celebrating all weekend. I'll be doing my answers next week. I really liked relationship with Edward in this one. 1y
kspenmoll @Crinoline_Laphroaig Her relationship with Edward explored in depth; I loved the respect he had for Jane. What is next read in series? Happy birthday weekend!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 1y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @kspenmoll Jane and the Twelve Days of Christmas. It's my favorite! 1y

Good morning! Beautiful day- in low 60‘s, blue skies, bird chorus, gentle breeze.
This particular Jane Austen feels like it is taking a long time… but I feel I am getting to know her niece & brother Edward. #BeingAJaneAustenMystery

During Covid, we chose some of these tales for students(seniors) to work with. Short videos from the internet increased their understanding.
Reading this has brought those memories back, of teaching as best we could on-line.

I don‘t know that “Fadge” is a weird word but it‘s new to me so pressed my kindle to bring up the definition. I do not think Edward is talking about potato bread here. 😂

#WeirdWordThursday

Ruthiella I‘ve run against Regency slang in Barron‘s books before too. Sometimes google provides and sometimes not. But I wager he doesn‘t mean potato bread either. 😂 2y
CBee And now I‘m thinking about potato bread 🤦‍♀️😂 2y
bthegood love this word - am committed to using it ! 🙂 2y
Crinoline_Laphroaig I just read this today. Thanks for sharing! 2y

Dinner tonight- bummed I left the tagged book at PT- it‘s 2 towns over so I won‘t retrieve it until July. Now not sure what I will read tonight- or maybe I will skip reading! Right now I am also rereading A Beautiful Mystery (Penny) but it is so so slow to me to get into much…

Susanita Ugh. I hate when that happens. 2y
batsy Oh no! On the plus side, dinner looks yum 🙂 2y

I love coming upon simple connections between books. 💜📚

Yesterday's Snow Day. I read few in this series previously. Really enjoyed reading series in order. Original plan was to finish by end of the year but I got behind last month because of #GoodreadsChoice reads. That's okay because now I can read Jane & the 12 Days of Christmas along 12 days timeline. Leaving No.13 for 2021. Plus author tagged me on Instagram a few days ago to say that her editor has Jane 14! ❄🔥🫖🧦📖
